How to follow along: The Chronicle is on site at the Kentucky Horse Park with three reporters to bring you everything you need to know at coth.com, so you don’t have to miss a minute of the action. You can find all of our coverage from the week here. You can also follow along on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

Who’s here: Currently 43 competitors are on the start list, and you can keep up with the withdrawals here. If you’ve glanced at the draw order, you’ll probably notice there’s a big name missing. Three-time winner Michael Jung will not be starting this year, but there are still lots of big names to root for—including last year’s winner Oliver Townend with Cooley Master Class.

There are plenty of people ready to challenge, including British rider Piggy French with her 2018 FEI World Equestrian Games (North Carolina) mount Quarrycrest Echo. New Zealand’s Tim Price is the reigning Land Rover Burghley CCI5*-L (England) winner, and he’s bringing Xavier Faer to Kentucky in hopes that a win will keep his Rolex Grand Slam dreams alive. Australia’s Hazel Shannon has two five-star wins at Adelaide (Australia) with WillingaPark Clifford, and they’re making their Kentucky their first event abroad.

Phillip Dutton, who is the only former winner in the field other than Townend, brings just one horse this year, Z, whom he rode to fourth last year at Kentucky and to 13^th at the WEG.

Buck Davidson once again holds the title of one of the busiest riders with three entered (Park Trader, Copper Beech and Jak My Style). Lauren Kieffer will ride Vermiculus and Paramount Importance, while Caroline Martin will tack up Danger Mouse and Islandwood Captain Jack.
